An agreement is underway to be presented as soon as possible, a Scholz spokeswoman said in Berlin on Monday. The traffic light coalition is in full swing. The Chancellor is concerned about reaching an agreement on this issue. He is confident that this will happen in the near future. It is in the interest and will of the Chancellor that a compromise is found very quickly.
The Greens want to keep the two southern German nuclear power plants Isar 2 and Neckarwestheim 2 in reserve until April 15 and continue to use them to generate electricity if necessary. The third remaining Emsland nuclear power plant in Lower Saxony, on the other hand, will be closed permanently on 1 January 2023. The Congress of the Green Party in Bonn confirmed this line. The delegates rejected the purchase of new fuel rods for longer operation.
In contrast, given the sharp rise in energy prices, the FDP is demanding that all three plants remain in operation until 2024 and, if necessary, restart the already decommissioned nuclear plants.
